If you’ve been around the internet awhile you have probably stumbled upon the adage, “Not all who wander are lost” by J.R.R Tolkien. This quote is popular, especially with travelers and backpackers who are so often characterized as “lost” by society. I know I have had to field many comments about being “lost” or “finding …

If you’re planning on visiting Thailand, you’re probably wondering when the best time of year is for your holiday. What is the weather and climate like in Thailand? Well after living in Thailand for over 2.5 non-consecutive years in three different parts of the country (Bangkok, Koh Tao, and Chiang Mai), I’m here to shed …
